Default Childhood toys

Following the sad passing of Evel Knievel yesterday it dawned on me that my abiding memory wasn't his stunts but the Evel Knieval Stunt Cycle, in fact I think I had the toy before seeing him in action. (then I progressed to real stunts with a wooden plank and Raleigh Grifter)


So what was your favourite childhood toy?

My favourite uniform was the WW2 German soldier.

When I was 7 years old, this was my favourite toy:


....then, when I was 15, I decided I'd outgrown it and moved up a notch!

One of these for me. As I recall I didn't make that much use of the 'working winch'
